Mark MacKillop is a familiar name within the theatre community when it comes to fundraising efforts and the call to action to end stigma surrounding HIV and AIDS. In today鈥檚 episode of Storytellers, Mark shares how growing up in a generation where many gay men鈥檚 lives were lost to an epidemic. Seeing older gay men have their lives cut short created a sense of anxiety and uncertainty about his own future.

People know that so that I鈥檝e spent the last 10 years of my life raising money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. I鈥檓 very passionate about it, and this year I think I raised $600,000 for them.
